Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 712

Chapter 712: Chapter 709: Confident and Fearless_1

Bai Qihe returned to the Bai family mansion and locked himself in his study. No one could get him to come out. He didn’t show up for the family’s New Year’s Eve dinner and didn’t send anyone to inform the family, completely ignoring that the entire family was waiting for him.

Bai Weimei, Bai Qihe’s father, sat at the dinner table with a furious expression. The elaborate dishes placed on the Eight Immortals Table had already lost their warmth. The people sitting around the black lacquered round table didn’t dare to speak.

Bai Qingping kept his eyes downcast and stayed silent.

Mrs. Fang saw the situation and pulled at Bai Qingping’s sleeve. Bai Qingping merely withdrew his sleeve indifferently and pursed his thin lips tightly.

"What’s this, even your grandfather can’t move you now?" Bai Weimei gritted his teeth and glared at Bai Qingping.

"Grandson wouldn’t dare. But Grandfather incited the clan members to make trouble for the Princess of Zhen, intending to ruin the Bai Clan! My father, as the Bai Clan Leader... is caught between his father and the Bai Clan. He must reflect deeply before making a decision."

"A decision?!" Bai Weimei suddenly stood up. "What kind of decision?!"

Puliu, standing behind Mrs. Fang, quickly stepped forward to salute. "Young Master must be exhausted. I am willing to go and invite the Clan Leader."

Mrs. Fang looked back at Puliu gratefully, then looked at Bai Weimei, who was trembling with rage. "My husband must be too tired from today’s ancestral worship, which is why he hasn’t come yet. Puliu, quickly go and invite him. Tell him that Father knows he worked hard today and specially had the family wait here to dine together!"

"Yes!" After saluting, Puliu exchanged a glance with Bai Qingping, signaling him not to further anger Bai Weimei. Then she took small steps out the door, opened an umbrella, and went to summon Bai Qihe.

Bai Weimei looked at his stubborn grandson, still seething with rage. Thinking of his son, who no longer shared his views, he pointed at Bai Qingping and cursed: "You’re just like your father! Ungrateful dog! Your uncle is gone... instead of thinking about avenging him, even though you know the enemy is right here in the Bai Mansion, none of you are thinking about revenge. Yet you leave it to me, an old dying man, to come up with solutions!"

Bai Qingping trembled all over with suppressed emotion. Finally, he couldn’t hold back any longer. He stood up and looked at Bai Weimei with resolute eyes: "My uncle’s death was caused by his own greed. If he hadn’t been so insatiable and hadn’t tried to frame the Bai Mansion, he would be living well now! There are sins that even heaven cannot forgive, much less self-inflicted ones! He deserved his end. My father has no grounds for seeking revenge!"

"You insolent brat!" Bai Weimei shouted in fury and swept all the dishes off the table with a single motion. The plates clattered onto Mrs. Fang, who screamed as she pulled her son to avoid them.

Bai Weimei’s wife, shocked at first, began to cry and beat her chest. "What did I do to deserve this... gray hair sending off black hair. The second son and grandson are disobedient, and we can’t even sit together for a meal on New Year’s Eve."

Bai Qingping’s eyes filled with tears as he turned and walked out. Mrs. Fang, covered in food stains, didn’t know what to do. She looked at her enraged father-in-law and crying mother-in-law, then picked up her soiled skirts and turned to chase after her son. "A Ping! A Ping!"
